Are those fake, screen-printed laces below the neckline? When do we get the fake, screen-printed, naked-colored V-neck on a soccer jersey? Or the fake, screen-printed collar that doesn't actually flip up or fold down?

For what it's worth, Nike, you did a much better job with the Centennial soccer crest and jerseys. The hockey jerseys almost look like a generic, non-licensed, knock-off version of the soccer kit that you might find in the boys' section at Wal-Mart.

Somehow, I don't think the hockey jersey will be a wildly popular best-seller like the Centennial kits and gear have been, even if it is only a once-every-four-years phenomenon. Soccer is still outside the "big four" sports on the outside looking in at hockey, though, right?
